Hard News: A Big Idea, in reply to BenWilson,
No David said beneficiaries would not be required to save, and I thought he meant there are other exceptions to the oz scheme ,whether he meant people (like beneficiaries) or whether he meant exceptions to required % of savings or other exceptions, I wasn't sure. Thought you'd know with being in the Oz scheme. It could even be low wage exceptions.... I guess I'll go ask him. :)

Hey Ben, what are the exceptions that you have with the Australian one,as Kiwisaver will be compulsory,with exceptions limited to the Oz scheme.

Sad to say but I suspect that the Govt depts do not know where to go from here. Very tricky situation legally and ethically.

Hey Damian, Hi(gh :). What was the strain of pot that you were standing amongst. The leaves look fascinating or am I seeing things and was it just a drying room?
I think the States are getting it right and the way to get the likes of Soccer Moms on board was show the money, Tax it. Soccer moms aren't forking out their "hard earned money" but directly can benefit in the community.Everyone wins something.
I think there is something to the age of 21 also. Over here I think 18 made way for 17,16yr olds to access and that immaturity shows up in programs like Campbell live. . -

That's quite significant. I see that Rob Hosking isn't dismissing it either.
Of course Blinglish is.Apparently it's old .
I noticed a couple of comments on Brian Fallow. "National should steal this".... -
Hard News: Illegal Highs, in reply to BenWilson,
a rise in this kind of problem, how does it really stack up against the constant flow of people they have to treat?

Concurrent sentencing doesn’t work that way.
But consecutive does.

Hard News: Sorting out our thinking on drugs, in reply to debunk,
Probably contrary to the Act assuring competence and ethical behaviour by registered health professionals ..(can’t recall name of it)..do no harm etc
Do you mean the hippocratic Oath? The dispensaries could be at places like Methadone clinics or Needle exchanges or Pharmacies. These places could better advise of side effects. Do the synthetics have side effects written on the packaging at all or is it just the name of said product that is supposed to indicate the type of buzz? Are there any forums of users of the synthetics and what they think of them?
